KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- A 15-year-old Kansas City who wanted to be a dentist attempted to outrun a drive-by shooting on Friday, but her life ended moments later on the floor of her cousin's apartment.

Brannae Browne had been sitting outside on the porch with friends at about 6:30 p.m. Friday when a beat-up silver Chevy Impala drove up and someone inside opened fire. She got up to run away but was shot in the stomach.

Tenisha and Tahsay say it is the second time in about a month that the apartment has been shot up because of a dispute between young boys no older than 17-years-old.

"I asked them when they first came through here, when this stuff at first happened, I asked them, like 'Why?' What is y'all funking for? Whatever y'all say. What is all this for? They don't know. They really can't tell you."

The Horton sisters say Browne was dating their brother, a 17-year-old boy who is in custody for participating in a shoot-out, allegedly with a rival group that Tenisha and Tahsay believe is responsible for the attacks on their apartment and the murder of Brannae.

"As long as I got breath in my body, as long as I'm breathing, justice will be served for Brannae," said Tenisha.

One person has been arrested in connection to the drive-by shooting that killed Brannae, but charges had not yet been filed on Tuesday. Those who have information about who murdered Brannae are asked to call the TIPS Hotline. It is anonymous. The number: 816-474-8477.
